Norm Sartorius - Mint Museum of Craft and Design - Shard

“Shard” – Texas Desert Root Wood Burl – 2000 – 10” x 4.5” x 2.5 – Collection of the Mint Museum of Craft & Design - Purchase Funded by Robyn & John Horn – I have seen many old wooden spoons in museums and some have been heavily damaged but are still regarded as beautiful objects of cultural and artistic interest. Shard was carved to appear as if it were recovered from an archeological dig, a remnant of an unknown culture. Photography by Jim Osborn.
